Meeting while working together at a travelling fairground and naming themselves The Fratellis (which is Italian for brothers and not a Goonies reference they claim) is the romantic start of one of Scotland's most interesting indie rock acts. First cutting their teeth at every live show The Fratellis could book they quickly followed by releasing a EP in 2006 named Costello Music. This won the them the prestigious title "best new band in Britain" from NME. No small feat. Heavy touring followed, which sadly, led to some fiery inter-band disputes and a hiatus that lasted from 2009 to late 2012. Reuniting at first to play some benefits gigs, including one for The Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund, The Fratellis old chemistry reignited as did their passion to pick up making fantastic Scottish rock music. They've been going strong since. Not only more studio work but a 2013 U.K. tour are coming at us. Take a stand with The Fratellis live, and let rock and roll break your heart!
